Are you sure it is hung, and not in some very long GC? I see nothing
wrong in the backtrace you sent, it just shows that Emacs is
collecting garbage. Lots of it. It is not unusual for GC to have
tens of thousands of recursive calls to mark_object, because GC is
highly recursive.

If you leave it running, does it eventually recover and become
responsive again? Or does it keep being stuck forever?
